Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands all over the world
German duo FLOYA offer up music’s version of cheese and chocolate in a gorgeous fusion of rock and EDM that oozes positivity and they describe as “ecstatic, celebratory and conscious.”
Czech band Seeing Things fuse metalcore with a wide range of electro influences, from techno and dark house to acid and cyberpunk, in a fascinating sound they describe as “dark, energetic and angry.”
Ukrainian/Portuguese duo IMAGICA have honed a fascinating sound that refuses to be constrained to specific styles or genres. IMAGICA is as much a band as it is an art, filmmaking and storytelling project with a strong visual base that they intriguingly describe as “surrealistic cinematic arena dance metal.”
Italian masked collective Hurricane On Saturn combine metal, rap and electronic elements in a sound they describe as “unpredictable, unconventional and solid” and with which they “just want to destroy peoples’ brains.”
Portsmouth six-piece Seething Akira offer an escape from the monotony of normality with an electronic nu-core sound that they describe as “Balls.To.The.Wall.”
London duo CRASHFACE slap you round the face with their vicious riffs then deliver a couple of knockout punches with intense industrial elements and wild vocals.

Fusing together big heavy riffs with elements of EDM, hip-hop and punk sounds pretty bonkers, and it’s these eclectic combinations that have led Austin, Texas band Eye Said So to label their sound as “schizo-pop.”
Having been born in Transylvania, in central Romania, to parents that looked down on his dreams of playing the guitar, it’s safe to say that Liv Mircea has come a long way.
